The Puppet Showplace holds the distinct honor of being the first puppetry center in New England. Opening in 1974 by Mary Churchill who believed that the use of puppets enhanced education, and inspired creativity in children, the Puppet Showplace has since been dazzling audiences with their renditions of classics (like Jack and the Beanstalk) as well as original works. Since opening, this non-profit organization has expanded its reach and appeal, performing shows not only for families, but for adults as well in the form of a cabaret style puppet slam. Watching a show in this small setting allows everyone an up close view and entertains the even the youngest audience members. Tickets are inexpensive, making it easy to bring your child to a live performance.
